Dear Friends,
We are grateful for your support.
As we reflect on the last year, we are inspired by the many individuals, businesses, and community organizations that stepped up to help our neighbors tackle tough problems.
As the saying goes, it takes a village. And here at United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, we are grateful for this village and your ongoing support.
Within our 2023 Impact Report, you will discover:
- Stories of resiliency, solutions that work, and the transformation made possible by our collective collaboration
- Our continued investment in innovative initiatives aimed at empowering people and families to break the cycle of generational poverty
- The intentional change made to our grant funding process to foster trust and knowledge-sharing and to embrace diverse perspectives
Last year, we experienced generosity in all sizes and invested over $20.5 million back into the community during the 2023 fiscal year, creating a more equitable local nonprofit ecosystem.
While we celebrate these accomplishments, much work remains to be done. The challenges facing our community are complex, requiring sustained commitment and collaboration from all sectors of the region–corporate, civic, nonprofit partners, and you.
Together, we can create a future where every person in our region can achieve their full potential and lead a fulfilling life. Indeed, the smartest way to fight poverty is the United Way.
On behalf of United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, I extend my deepest thanks for your continued support and dedication to this work. View the 2023 Impact Report here.
Thank you,
Bill Golderer
